Thanks Anthony,
Be very careful when ordering silicone hoses. As explained in an earlier
thread, Samco sell two products that sound very similar. The standard
Fluorosilicone lined hose is only resistant to fuel. The Profuel
Fluoroelastomer lined hose is fuel proof. The LAA will only approve the
fuel proof hose coupling. Look for the words Profuel.
Regards
Brian

an aluminium elbow on an XS Europa. As nobody has applied for a standard Mod
I have agreed with Andy Draper that I will do so. It will be based on Tim
Ward's aluminium elbow and will use Samco Profuel joints. These can be
purchased from www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk in a short length of 76mm for
UK Pounds 11.24 plus VAT and postage. Currently there is a 39 day lead time
on this item. Part number PSCH51-BLU

John Archer, who is getting the pipes made, is taking orders now.

>> Stupid question, but I will ask anyway... All the examples, photos, LAA
report etc point to the side-filler Europa pipe, with 45 degree bend, which
was an alternative to the top-of-fuselage original filler. I have the
latter, the long pipe coming down through a hole in the rear bulkhead. Was
this a different pipe batch? Inspection shows no problem with mine, I fill
to the top before every flight, ie right up the pipe, then fly, then leave
tank with about 3/4 full ie the pipe is not immersed for long. I fly once a
month, Nice constant temps in Kenya 15-28 C for storage, all seems to be
OK.
